LATE SUMMER
We begin as we always do, with sensory
Before we plant a single seed, our team spends countless hours precisely identifying the ideal cultivars to grow specifically for terpenes-not for cannabinoids.
FALL
Art meets science
We analyze the genetics and terpene content and settle on a shortlist of superior cultivars to grow for Live Resin Terpenes here in the Pacific Northwest.
SPRING
The seeds of flavor are planted
The process of growing for flavor starts in the controlled environment of the nursery, where the foundations for healthy growth are established.
JUNE
Into the earth
The healthy seedlings are carefully transplanted to our fields, where a combination of cutting-edge agronomic practices including soil regeneration, biostimulants, and elicitors naturally encourages healthy growth and the very best flavor from our plants.
JULY
The ideal environment
Hemp does not like humidity. It thrives in the dry, sunny summer environment of the Pacific Northwest, where we irrigate with Cascade Mountain snowmelt to make up for the lack of rainfall. This is ideal for the plants, as an absence of standing water from rainfall (combined with cold winters) means less pressure from insects and disease.
LATE AUGUST
Marks of quality
Approximately five weeks from harvest, our plants are exhibiting rich chlorophyll content, fat stalks, and excellent pathogen pressure. At a higher latitude, our days are longer but the nights are cool, which gives the plants a growth spurt during the day and the opportunity to rest at night.
SEPTEMBER
Mapping flavor development
A few weeks away from harvest, we're testing the flower for terpene and CBD content to determine plant maturity and plan for harvest at the peak moment of aromatic expression.
LATE SEPTEMBER
Terp hunting season
Our Sensory Team is out in the field, analyzing and tracking the range of aromas expressed by each cultivar. We'll use this data to determine when to harvest and also to select new cultivars from our test field to grow on a larger scale next year.
EARLY OCTOBER
Stressing for aroma
After months of careful growing, the female plants are deliberately stressed at the last stage of cultivation. This important final step forces the plants to devote their energy to terpene production.
OCTOBER
A hands-on approach to harvest
Fully committed to preserving the flavor we've worked so hard to cultivate, we embark on the arduous task of harvesting 100 acres by hand. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
OCTOBER
Field to bottle
Our proprietary live resin processing begins on the day of harvest to capture the the full cannabis flavor experience in a bottle.
